Basic knitting skills such as casting on, picking up, and decreasing — combined with color and texture — create endless possibilities. Mitered knitting can become squares, rectangles, diamonds, or strips and is the foundation of some of today’s best designs. You will learn to make a basic square, to join squares as you go, and to build the squares into a project. You will also receive a pattern for a Kindle or iPad cover and begin the project in class. Materials: 100 yards #5 (chunky-weight) yarn in 2 complementary colors and 2 US 9 or 10 needles.
